Nesting in full force!

Nesting in full effect people! Here are some projects I've been working on:

Room painted with scallop border. Check.

Hand-me-down dresser repainted with new knobs. Check.

Hand-me-down desk repainted/new knobs. Check.

I did the scallop paint detail using a homemade stencil made from posterboard. Took forever, but I'm happy with the results! I stole the idea from ISLY blog - but she did hers by cutting the whole border out of contact paper and sticking it on the wall. I didn't want to put paper on the wall and I thought paint would be easier, but they are probably fairly equivalent in the amount of work, possibly more so the way I did it.

Splurged a little on those curtains (urbanoutfitters.com), but I think it was worth it - they make me happy because they are oh so pretty pretty! I did get them on sale... plus free shipping...

The knobs were a steal! Got them at Hobby Lobby (awesome for knobs) for $3 each for the pink ones and $5 each for the black handles. They were having a 50% off sale so I think I scored! I think they are both perfect for what I was going for!

The dresser & desk were gifts from Dan's Aunt Holly (Thank you!!!) and they couldn't have come at a better time. We were in need of a dresser/changing table for the baby's room and since the baby's room took over our office, we needed a new space for the computer/office supplies, so really it couldn't have been more perfect!

Now that those two pieces are done, I can work on some other things I've got on my project list. I found this mobile on potterybarnkids.com and I want to make something like it for June's room.

I kind of love this phase - I feel so productive!
